New Business Locator tool lets
customers know just where to go
SAN
DIEGO – July 18th, 2006 – Most business owners understand that an
effective website is an essential tool for success. What
they may not realize is that the world’s best website
isn’t much help if it doesn’t show customers
where your business is located.
Introducing Aplus.Net’s
new Business Locator Tool, a free add-on that provides websites
with an interactive and easy-to-use map to actual store locations.
It’s a simple but effective way to help ensure that consumers
aren’t lost at the final and most important stage of
the buying process.
“Aplus.Net is always looking
for ways to improve the effectiveness of our customers’ websites.
Our Business Locator Tool fulfills this commitment by giving
visitors an easily accessible, highly visible map to their
store location,” says Ivan Vachovsky, CEO and President
of Aplus.Net. “For those business owners whose websites
are the online representatives of their actual brick-and-mortar
store, this is an essential tool. After all, customers need
to know how to find you — if they can’t, your efforts
in building a successful website are in vain. Don’t assume
that they’ll search for your location; they’re
just as likely to move on to the competition’s website.”
Aplus.Net’s Business Locator
Tool maps are high-quality and user-friendly, provided by Google’s
popular mapping function. The tool also utilizes convenient
drag-and-drop functionality, so even the least computer-savvy
users can utilize it without dealing with confusing HTML code
procedures. In addition, an easy-to-use tutorial on Aplus.Net’s
Knowledge Base website walks users through the simple steps
needed to access the feature. Users can configure the size,
look and feel of the map to match their website’s style;
they can even include a “tooltip” to help visitors
use the map.
The Business Locator Tool works
for locations within the United States and requires an active
Google API key (offered free by Google, and automatically generated
by the Business Locator Tool on behalf of the end user). The
tool is free with purchase of Aplus.Net’s Unix and Windows
hosting plans, and can be used for up to 10 domain names. To
